Chapter 50 "The King"
Taking out the invitation card he bought from Skull Girl, Charles walked in.
There is a lot of space inside the wooden boat, but the decoration is very simple. In front of the chairs where the guests sit is a simple stage covered with a blood-red carpet.
Naturally, the pirates didn't have any etiquette. Some drank and ate comfort fruit, and some greedily inhaled all kinds of powders. The smoldering air of the auction was mixed with various flavors.
Among some whispering pirate leaders, Charles seemed a bit abrupt alone.
Charles didn't let Orderic in. The pirates inside were not small, and he was afraid that some people would see that he was a vampire and cause trouble.
As the staff slowly arrived, the bright oil lamps around were turned to the darkest. "Crack~!" A bright light shone onto the stage.
A dwarf in exaggerated clothes jumped out, "Welcome to the 157th auction in Sodom, everyone! There are a lot of good things today! Are you ready for the echoes in your pockets?"
The scene was very cold, and not many pirates below looked at him.
Facing this, the dwarf didn't care at all, and clapped his hands with a smile. "The following invites our noble, respectable, invincible king."
As soon as the dwarf finished speaking, the light on his body directly hit the hatch next to him.
At least a 1-ton bloated fat man was pushed out by a wooden cart. His unusually greasy face had pustules of various sizes, and his belly almost reached the ground. This king of Sodom It looks surprisingly ugly.
"Wang" ignored the customer seats, all his attention was focused on the mountains of meat piled up on both sides of the wooden cart.
Seeing the king swallowing food with a mouthful of rotten teeth, Charles felt sick to his stomach just looking at it. To be honest, the appearance of this king was much different from what he imagined.
But the other pirates didn't think so. They stood up and saluted the "King" who were still rebellious just now.
"Wang" didn't speak, he waved his greasy hand indiscriminately, and continued.
The beam of light returned to the dwarf again. He first bowed deeply in the direction of the king, and then announced loudly: The auction starts now! First of all the first item is a woman! "
The cloth behind the dwarf was pulled up, and a wandering girl in a gorgeous dress was pushed up.
"Everyone, this is not a simple plaything. She is the missing daughter of the governor of He Fangdao not long ago! Anyone who buys her can cut something every day and keep threatening the governor of He Fangdao! Everyone, look out! This is not a woman, this is a cash cow!! Bidding starts at 500,000, plus 100,000, starting now!! This captain offers 1 million! 2 million!! Good! 6 million!!"
Without paying attention to the pirates to the price tag, Charles' attention was all on the king, who had surface clues on him, and he was constantly thinking about how to get the chart from him.
At this time, the governor's daughter was bought by a pirate, and she walked down from the stage with a sad face. No one noticed that the distance between this woman and the "king" was getting closer and closer.
Just when she was three meters away from the "Wang", her tearful face was instantly ferocious, and she quickly took out a pistol from under the lotus leaf skirt with her left hand, and frantically pulled the trigger at the "Wang".
"Bang bang bang!!" The bullet slanted on "Wang"'s fat, and the blood splashed out was slag beige fat.
"Pfft..." a large pustule on Wang's face burst, and a worm the size of a face hugger's palm rushed straight to the woman's body with an afterimage. The next second, there was the sound of tearing flesh and blood, and the headless corpse Just fell straight to the ground.
"Wang" was still sitting there dumbstruck, grabbing the blood-spattered piece of meat with his fat hand and stuffing it into his mouth, as if he wasn't the one who got shot.
After a few seconds, the dwarf on the stage quickly smoothed things over, "Haha, another guy who is not afraid of death is whimsical, praising our king! Our king is invincible! Now let's move on to the second auction!!"
Charles watched the worm on the ground shrink back into the "king"'s pustule again, and knew in his heart that the existence that could rule the entire Sodom could not be a fool.
He was sure that this king hadn't displayed even the slightest bit of strength, and his true strength was absolutely terrifying.
Soon Charles thought of himself, the other party is so powerful, how should he get information from him?
communicate? Charles first gave up this option, because the person on the other side was not easy to talk to, and what the Skull Girl said was right, he would never tell anyone about this kind of monopoly business.
The opponent was much stronger than himself, and there were more people than him. It was even more impossible to rely on force. Charles was caught in a dilemma for a while.
Until the end of the auction, Charles still couldn't think of a solution. Looking at the fat man who was still swallowing meat in the distance, he felt a little irritable.
"Cough cough." A clear cough next to him interrupted Charles' direct gaze. "Don't stare at Wang so closely, he will think this is your provocation to him."
Charles turned his head, and when he saw the white triangle on the man's forehead, he almost stood up in shock.
Looking at this Illuminati believer, Charles' eyes were full of hostility. "Isn't Sonny surprised that I didn't die?"
Who knew that this believer had a very surprised expression on his face. "Sonny? Sorry, I don't know him well. He's a fundamentalist. I'm a Protestant."
Charles had a dubious expression on his face, a little confused about this guy's purpose.
"Don't doubt that I'm deceiving you. You know, we believers in the Sun God Sect never lie."
Only then did Charles let go of his worries. As far as he knew, as long as the Sun God Cult believers had performed the ceremony, they would lose both their fear and the ability to hide.
He carefully looked at the appearance of the believer in front of him. This guy was about 60 years old. He was an old man with white hair, a pair of small round glasses on his nose, and a yellow robe. Look, it looks kind of nice.
"In Xia Kede, a priest of the Sun God Cult. Captain Charles, it's my first meeting, hello."
Charles had a flash in his mind. He suddenly remembered that Sonny came to Sodom to kill other sect believers when he got rid of himself. Could it be this guy who needs to be cleaned up?
"you know me?"
Ke De smiled. "Hehe, of course I do. When you said in the Explorers Association that you were looking for the Bright Land, we got the news. Captain Charles, can we talk?"
Charles's heart moved slightly, the enemy's enemy is a friend, this guy may be useful. "Okay, come on my boat."
